Chapter 558 Alger: German, you are here to kill me too!
The schedule was very tight. Alger only stayed in Backlund for five days in total. He and other members of the Storm Church, led by the Lord God Singer, took a steam train to arrive at the Punin Port in South Wilshire, and then took a boat to the Storm Abyss.
As for why they did not go directly to the Storm Abyss through the more convenient way of the spirit world or the travel portal.
The explanation within the church is that every trip to the Storm Abyss is a pilgrimage.
If the Storm Abyss can be reached directly through the travel portal at will, it will inevitably lose its mystery and sacredness.
In the few days since arriving in South Wilshire, new news came from the battlefield of the Feynetport Kingdom. As the situation on the sea became more and more chaotic, the reinforcements from the South Continent fell into a short pause, which forced the South Continent army, which was in full swing, to temporarily suspend the offensive and raise necessary military supplies on the spot.
This allowed the Feynetport Kingdom to quickly recover its blood and establish a line of defense with the reinforcements from the Loen Kingdom to deal with the next offensive.
If it turns into a protracted war, then the final winner must be the alliance between the Feynetport Kingdom and the Loen Kingdom.
Therefore, in this war, the actions of the Storm Church are extremely important.
Once the Storm Church loses its control over the sea, the Feynaport Kingdom will face a more tragic war.
The more he understands the importance of the Storm Church, the more uneasy Alger feels. Unlike those simple believers who think that going to the Storm Abyss is an honor, he has a longer-term vision.
Because the greater the importance of the Storm Church in this war, the more terrible the attacks it will attract.
This list incident is just a warm-up, and the real storm is about to sweep across the entire sea.
Arriving safely in South Wales, Alger knew that he had to seize the time to find a way to escape. Once he sailed out from Puning Port, he would lose the possibility of leaving.
He has already made a suitable plan in his mind based on his own situation.
At present, his identity has been exposed and he has become one of the pirates' must-kill targets. He can use this to create an attack on himself, and then escape by pretending to die, or be seriously injured and missing.
In this way, he naturally does not have to follow the Lord God Singer to go out to sea on a ship to participate in the upcoming sea war.
But he still had a problem to solve, which was who to ask to cooperate with him in directing this play. If he just deliberately revealed his own information to the pirates, it would not necessarily attract the pirates to hunt him, and the pirates' strength was uneven. If they were too weak, it would be difficult for them to even see him.
So he needed a teammate who could be trusted and cooperated with, preferably a pirate.
The only one who met these conditions was Mr. World, Gehrman Sparrow, who was a famous bounty pirate on the sea.
And he was very strong, so even if he encountered the Singer of God, he could leave safely.
After formulating all the details, when he fell asleep at night, Alger quietly stayed alone, and then prayed devoutly to Mr. Fool in his heart, asking him to help him convey his request to Mr. World.
Above the gray fog, Klein listened to Mr. Hanged Man's request silently, with a slightly strange look on his face. In order to get away, Mr. Hanged Man actually asked the world to pretend to assassinate him. It was amazing that he could come up with such a method.
It can only be said that Mr. Hanged Man is worthy of being the most conspiratorial member of the Tarot Club.
Klein could only go offline and use the identity of Gehrman Sparrow to shoot a video agreeing to the deal, and then threw it to Alger who was waiting anxiously.
In the hotel, Alger got an accurate answer, and a big stone fell from his heart. Now he just needed to wait for Mr. World to come nearby, and create an opportunity for himself to be alone, and then he could finish this play.
I hope that the Lord God Singer is really as rumored, and he is half a beat slower in everything.
…
"Assassinating Mr. Hanged Man is a very interesting action."
Klein, who was already in South Wales, changed his original appearance of Dawn Tangstai and restored his appearance of the famous bounty pirate Gehrman Sparrow.
He came to South Wales this time to find Mr. Hasta to confirm his guess in his heart, so he happened to help Mr. Hanged Man perform a play.
"The best time to act is near Pnin Port, so that the God Singer will choose to go out to sea by boat first after weighing the pros and cons, and he can't be given too much reaction time."
Klein thought of a general action plan and went to Pnin Port first.
When Alger and his party arrived at Punin Port, he had arrived a day earlier.
The communication between the two was through Mr. Fool's gray fog platform, which was very hidden and not discovered.
Soon, the day before he went to board the ship, Alger found an excuse to buy some items and started to act alone for a short time.
When he was about to walk from the alley to the street, Gehrman Sparrow, who had been waiting for a long time, attacked him with a grin, and an air bullet shot fiercely at his back. Alger dodged to the side, and his clothes on his back were shattered, leaving a scar that looked very scary but was only a shallow wound.
Blood flowed from his back, and Alger rushed to the street in a hurry so that more people could see the fact that he was being hunted.
At the same time, he shouted: "Mad Gehrman, you are here to kill me too!"
Such a chase in the street naturally attracted the attention of passers-by. People from the Church of Storms heard the movement and hurried over. As for the Singer of God, he was sitting in a tea restaurant enjoying afternoon tea until someone came. When the members of the Church of Storms came to inform him, he took the last sip of tea, got up and left.
When the commotion became considerable, Alger followed the pre-planned escape route and jumped into the river on the outside of the street. Bloody flowers appeared from the water, and the whole person disappeared.
In order to attract the attention of the Church of Storms and buy enough time for Mr. Hanged Man to escape, Gehrman Sparrow pretended to be searching slowly along both sides of the river.
He didn't leave in a hurry until the Singer of God arrived. Snake, the Singer of God, glanced at the blood-stained river, snorted coldly, and chased after the murderer Gehrman. .
Although he controlled the strong wind and was very fast, he struggled for a long time in the face of the strange methods of the magician, and was still escaped by the bounty pirate Gehrman.
To no avail, Snake could only return to the river and let the Church of Storms members begin searching for Alger's whereabouts, but until sunset, they saw no sign of Alger again.
"No body was found, which is also good news." Snake felt a little more relaxed. The followers of the Lord of Storms would not drown in a small river.
He guessed that Alger had escaped along the river and was looking for a hidden place to hide and recover from his injuries.
But soon, his brows furrowed. The ship would go out to sea tomorrow morning. This was a time that had been set in advance.
"You can entrust local Storm Church personnel to help with search and rescue." Snake quickly came up with an idea.
Early the next morning, they still couldn't find Alger's whereabouts, so they could only entrust it to the local Church of Storms, and then take a boat out to sea to the Abyss of Storms.
After seeing the ship belonging to the Church of Storms going out to sea with his own eyes, Alger, who had been hiding for a whole night, truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is your back injured?" Hermann came behind him and looked at his bandaged back.
"You don't have to blame yourself for this. This is what I asked for." Alger, who was in a good mood, smiled and said: "It is undoubtedly cost-effective to use a small flesh wound to deny this opportunity to go to the Abyss of Storms."
"Shouldn't going to the Storm Abyss be what you, the followers of the Storm Lord, dream of?"
"Then when will the score be scored?" Thinking of the recent chaotic situation in the sea, Alger sighed and continued: "The war in the sea is about to begin. I wonder if the Church of Storms can maintain its position as the overlord of the sea this time."
"Do you think the Church of Storms will lose?"
"At least it won't be easy to win. I don't want to get involved in this war." Alger laughed at himself and said: "I am also afraid of death. I put my own life first in everything. This is the real me."
"Death is something to be feared."
Alger agreed with this sentence and looked at the burly Gehrman beside him, "Why do you happen to be here? Mr. Fool has a mission to assign. If you need help, I am willing to contribute."
"It's a secret." Gehrman just smiled and asked Alger to hide it. Then he turned and left. It was time for him to start busy with his own affairs.
Looking at Gehrman's leaving figure, Alger murmured: "I don't know what Mister Fool's attitude is towards this war, and which side will he stand on?"
After just thinking for a while, Alger hurriedly suppressed his thoughts of seeking death. Don't easily speculate on the thoughts of the gods. It will only bring misfortune to yourself.
The most important thing for him now is to hide his traces and prevent them from being discovered by the local Church of Storms personnel.
If the winner of this sea war is the Church of Storms, then Alger, the cardinal of the Church of Storms, will appear again.
If the Church of Storms fails, then there will be no Alger in the world, only the Hanged Man of the Tarot Society.
